Chapter 20 - The Day She Stood Up

One day, Sarah had gone to the market. She was returning home on foot, carrying some vegetables and fruits, when suddenly a big black car came and stopped near her. The car door opened, and someone forcefully pulled Sarah inside and made her sit. All the fruits and vegetables fell from her hands onto the ground.

When Sarah looked up, she saw that it was none other than Ryan, who was driving the car in anger and taking her somewhere.

Sarah's anger immediately flared up. Her eyes, nose, and cheeks turned red with rage. "How dare you do this?" she shouted angrily.

But Ryan didn't listen to a single word she said.

Sarah screamed, "Stop the car! Can't you hear me? I said stop the car!"

But Ryan kept ignoring her as if he couldn't hear anything.

After some time, he brought her to a deserted place where no one else was present — only Sarah and Ryan. He stopped the car, dragged her out forcefully, and stood in front of her, glaring at her angrily as if he was ready to destroy her.

"What kind of behavior is this, Mr. Ryan? Maybe you've forgotten that I am no longer the same Sarah who would tolerate your torture, your force, and your insults," Sarah said firmly.

Without thinking for even a second, Ryan pulled her and slapped her hard. Sarah fell to the ground.

Ryan started shouting, "Characterless girl! Don't you feel ashamed? Instead of giving your boyfriend a chance, you spent the night with another man and now you're even living in his house! I used to beat you, insult you, compare you with other girls — saying they were more hot and attractive — and forced you to dress like them. I regret it now, but no… a girl like you deserves all of it. The moment you found out about my betrayal, you didn't even think about me once! And that cheap doctor Kevin — who is nothing compared to me — you spent the night with him, fell in love with him, and gave him your heart! I feel like strangling you with my own hands right now!"

Hearing all this, Sarah's blood boiled. She got up from the ground, dusted off her clothes, walked toward Ryan, and looked at him with burning anger.

Then she slapped him hard.

The impact turned Ryan's face to the side, and he stood there shocked, unable to understand how Sarah had gained so much courage.

"This slap is for dragging me here forcefully," Sarah said, looking straight into his eyes.

Then she grabbed his collar and slapped him on the other cheek.

"This slap is for touching me and questioning my character. What were you saying? That I am characterless? That I didn't think about you even once? That I spent the night with someone else? Listen carefully — first look at yourself. Check your own character before pointing fingers at others. Learn how to respect women. Your own character is so weak that the moment you see a beautiful girl, you lose all control."

Then Sarah slapped him again.

"And this slap is for what you said about Doctor Kevin. I won't tolerate a single word against him. He is my future husband, the man I truly love — far more than I ever loved you. You were wondering how I moved on so quickly, right? Let me clear that for you. Doctor Kevin is a wonderful man. He understands me, respects me, loves me deeply, and gives me time. And that's all a girl needs. But you won't understand this, because according to you, a girl only cares about money and can be bought."

She pointed her finger at him angrily and said, "You are not even equal to the dust on Kevin's feet."

Then Sarah turned and started walking away, but stopped for a moment and said, "And listen — if you ever try to misbehave with me again, the consequences won't be good. I will forget that I ever loved you."

With that, she left.

Ryan was filled with so much rage that he took out a bat from his car and started smashing his own vehicle. He broke all the glass windows in anger.

"How dare Sarah do this? The girl who never even spoke in front of me, who never stepped outside without my permission — today she dared to raise her hand on me, Ryan, the CEO? I will show her her place. I will never let her be happy with Kevin. I will create so many problems in her life that she will forget what happiness is. I will destroy Sarah and Kevin. I will destroy them both!" he shouted repeatedly.

On the other side, Sarah was walking on the road, crying uncontrollably. Her face had turned completely red from crying, and her tears just wouldn't stop. Suddenly, she almost collided with a car — but it was Kevin's car.

Kevin saw her in that condition, crying, and immediately made her sit in his car gently. Sarah suddenly hugged Kevin tightly and broke down completely.

Kevin gently stroked her hair and tried to calm her down. "Hey, my lioness, why are you crying like this? What happened?" he said softly. He held her face in his hands, wiped her tears, and added, "You are my brave lioness. You can't be this weak. Tell me what happened."

Still crying, Sarah told Kevin everything — how she was returning from the market, how the black car came, how she was forcefully taken inside, how Ryan took her to a deserted place, accused her of being characterless, and even raised his hand on her.

Hearing all this, Kevin lost his calm. His face turned red with anger. "I won't spare Ryan. Come with me," he said.

But Sarah held his hand and said, "You don't need to say anything to him. I have already taught him a lesson."

Then she told Kevin what she did — how she slapped Ryan three times and gave him a strong reply. She didn't stay silent or scared; she raised her voice for herself.

Hearing this, Kevin's anger melted instantly. He felt proud and happy. He patted her shoulder, hugged her, and said, "That's my lioness! This is why I call you that."

Then he said gently, "But please don't cry anymore. Today you stood up for yourself, so I'll give you a treat."

Sarah quickly wiped her tears and smiled. "Yes, Kevin! Let's go. I was thinking we should watch a good Indian movie — a romantic one — and eat popcorn together. How does that sound?"

Kevin smiled and said, "Oh my lioness, you just said exactly what I was thinking. Let's go."
